CNN Reporter at Chicago Tea Party: It's "Anti-CNN Since This is Highly Promoted By the Right-Wing,

And had she behaved like an unbiased reporter instead of an inquisitor he may have been able to actually answer her. A reporter that beligerently
badgers and condescendingly keeps asking the same question over and over again, the whole time saying that he's insulting the president (as if he
doesn't have a 1st amendment right when it concerns the president) and refuses to allow the man to speak is not a reporter, she's just someone doin
a hackjob.

Here's our big problem both sides republican and democrat will find ways to use these parties to their advantage to either promote or exploit us. I
say why don't they use their own damn heads and stop using us to get their points across. I could be wrong but isn't that why they were put in
office? We need real people really working on our issues in this country not a bunch of spoiled rich kids lining their own pockets.

I believe the problem with these tea parties is that this is not going to change anything unless we take it further, the peoples opinions and problems
fell on death ears wednesday and thus nothing is going to change, we need these every week every day and not just protest of taxes we need protest of
big business big govt and the fed we need activism until we get change

Ummm... no. They were not protesting the "unconstitutional income tax"

Way read into this what you want. The Tea Party protests were protesting the massive taxes coming our way to try and pay for the over the top
spending of the last and the current administration. They were also demanding transparency and accountability.

Fox News went from being the anti-christ to now being the savior? CNN gets blasted by Fox News watchers. I am perplexed and somewhat alarmed that Fox
News is now taking claim for these tea parties at the least and responsible for them at the most.

Are you blind or being intentionally ignorant? I'm not a FOX news watcher AND I went to the protest. I was pissed off that every other news agency
was misrepresenting us as nuts, fake, and part of some "right wing conspiracy." Pull your head out of your ass and LOOK at what is going on.
Before you accuse me of also being a Bush supporter and a repoblican, I never supported Bush. I feel he was a disaster. Neither am I a political
lemming otherwise known as a republican or democrat. I do my own thinking and vote based on voting history of candidates. Anyone who supports the
constitution is a radical? Anyone who ownes a gun and believes in teh 2nd amendment is a radical and possible terrorist? You sir need to step back
and take a serious look at how dissenting voices are being characterized by the mass media. It's a concerted effort to try and rob anyone who is
unhappy with government as a whole of their RIGHT to speak their mind and protest. Think for yourself instead of accepting the group think.

this is not going to end here people. look what pelosi said

she blames the rich for starting these tea parties!!! HAHA. she is so sick in the head.

Allow me to post the facts, Mrs. Pelosi, rather than a biased self righteous claim.

Here is a video that actually has facts to support it.

It was a bad government regulation that caused the sub prime mess (Sponsored by the democrats no less), which created the housing bubble, which
eventually burst, and really screwed up the economy.

Wasnt it Rob Emanuel who said "Never let a serious crisis go to waste."? I suspect Pelosi is only paying lip service, trying to cover her
backside... Some of us are not as stupid as she would like. So, the ones who actually do stand up to the government, are called racists, and Bush
supporters of "failed policies." It would seem they are doing their best to drum up support for their agenda while tarnishing anyone who stands
against them...never letting a serious crisis go to waste.

Since when is protesting taxes a right wing idea? Why would you disregard the statements of some one who was actually at a Tea Party?

And Tentickles didn't even mention Fox News in the post you are responding to:

You know I was just at the Houston Tea Party and it wasnt "Right Wing" there were Democrats, Republicans, Independents and Liberals!
CNN needs to shut their mouths, biased *SNIP* media.

So instead of believing an ATS member who was actually there, you are going to take Fox News' word for it.

But you just said Fox News was a bunch of liars who are manipulating the news.
